I love it when I come across new brands. And as I has not
previously heard of the Mineralogie brand, so I decided to do a little research
and I was very happy with what I discovered. The products not only contain the most pure
minerals, they are also free of any harsh chemicals. Increasingly interested in
more natural skincare and makeup products, I really love sound of that. I also
love that Mineralogie has listed all the ingredients used in the mascara on the
packaging, which you rarely find on mascaras these days.
The mascara comes in a very simple black packaging with white writing,
making it look very luxe and stylish.
Miineralogie claims that the Waterproof Mascara defines and
separates each lash while giving a long, lush and rich finish that will last
all day, yet will be easy to remove. And having very sensitive eyes, that
easily water, I do prefer using waterproof mascaras to make sure that I don’t
end up with mascara running down my face during the day.
I tried colour black, which is a glossy black, and one coat
of the mascara did coat and separate my lashes nicely, giving them a nice glossy
look. But as I didn’t feel any volume or length had been added, I added another
coat. But sadly, when I added the second coat, my lashes started to stick and
clump together for a not very natural look. I used the mascara several times,
but unfortunately each time with the same result.
The mascara stays put all day, without dropping, smearing or
smudging, and it feels very gentle and wear, even for my sensitive eyes.
The mascara wand is a standard medium spoolie brush, that easily
gets into the hard to reach lashes. But unfortunately the bristles on the brush
are very hard and stiff, so I found that they were ‘scratching’ my lash line as
I was applying the mascara, something my sensitive eyes did not enjoy.
Sometimes waterproof mascara can be difficult to remove,
even with makeup remover specifically designed for waterproof makeup. I tried
to remove the Mineralogie Waterproof Mascara
with a couple of different makeup removers for waterproof, and regardless of
which one I used, it was easy to remove without the need to rub and tear at the
eye area.
Mineralogie Waterproof Mascara
has a slight chemical scent, which I cannot say that I am fond off, but it does
quickly fade away, I can still tolerate it.
The Mineralogie Waterproof Mascara
is available for purchase through select stockist, as well as online through
the Mineralogie online store, which charges $5.95 for the delivery.
At $34, it is not a cheap mascara, but considering it is a
mineral mascara I think it is still a reasonable mascara. However, although it
was comfortable to wear, it is not the mascara for me, as it simply does not
give my lashes the desired look and I am not fond of the stiff brush.

It does look good, but unfortunately a little too stiff for my sensitive eyes.

It is a great and very gentle mascara, but again, unfortunately I did not like the stiff brush.
